Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Polymers have become indispensable in modern dentistry, due to their exceptional mechanical strength, thermal stability, and biocompatibility. Their multifunctionality and adaptability have enabled a broad spectrum of applications, including the development of innovative materials for dental restorations, implants, digital and regenerative dentistry, and targeted drug delivery systems. This Special Issue will present cutting-edge research on the design, synthesis, characterization, and clinical applications of polymers in dental, oral, and craniofacial sciences. Researchers, scientists, and clinicians are encouraged to contribute to this Special Issue with original research papers, clinical trials or reports, reviews, and meta-analyses. Our main objective is to enhance our understanding of relevant topics, ultimately contributing to advancing essential aspects of modern dentistry.
Prof. Dr. Yong Wang
